“Jordan was great with my cats, even though one of them was too shy most of the time to come out. My other cat got a lot of attention and enjoyed playing with Jordan.

About: I have had many different pets since I was a young kid. Cats, dogs, birds, snake, rats, bearded dragon and a hedgehog. I am now 31 with 2 rescue cats, a rescue dog & another dog we got at 7 weeks in 2020 (all covid babies) we love them so so much, they are my children. I don’t have any special training but I am very patient, loving, experienced & happy to just hang with your pets!! I am a bartender and mainly work nights. So I am free during the day.

I have a full fenced in yard. 2 dogs, 1 rescue mix (65lbs) 1 pug/schnauzer mix (23lbs). 2 cats (1 acts like a dog herself) my pets have free roam of the house but I will crate yours if you prefer.

About: I've had dogs in my life, from diapers through college, and miss living a home with one - walks, couch snuggles, all of it. I've cared for family dogs for years, very familiar with strict feeding schedules, medication routines, and keeping dogs secure and happy while their owners are away. I treat every dog like my own, bringing lifelong animal experience and total reliability to the table. Whether your pup needs a calm buddy at home or a companion for nature trails and beach walks, I'm here to give them my full attention! I work a flexible schedule with regular work from home days, meaning your dog gets full daytime company instead of hanging out alone. I can wrap up a bit early around 2 or 3 PM for solid afternoon walks and undivided attention if needed, and my evenings are wide open. Weekends are flexible, with a sweet spot for early morning to late afternoon adventures! I care for dogs right in their own space, keeping their routine, food, and comfort uninterrupted. I follow feeding and medication instructions to the letter, stick strictly to your house rules, and make sure potty breaks happen every two to four hours, unless otherwise specified. Since my home isn't set up for four-legged guests, I focus entirely on house sitting and walks so your dog stays cozy at home with constant, 1-1 attention the whole time.

Jordan was great with my cats, even though one of them was too shy most of the time to come out. My other cat got a lot of attention and enjoyed playing with Jordan. Jordan is reliable, communicates well, and it's apparent that she loves caring for all kinds of pets. I would have Jordan come back anytime!
Hannah helped us out agreeing to a drop-in visit on short notice. She did a great job tending to our 10 ½ yr. old chocolate lab, fed him, gave him his medications, walked and played with him and sent photos during her visit. We were pleased and appreciative of her help and would definitely recommend her services.
I could not be happier with the care our cat received! From start to finish, Tallyn was reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. We received regular photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and professional, I’d recommend Tallyn without hesitation.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
